now considering Ling v keane as the rookie that i grab as this will allow me to do my upgrades in the coming weeks. Any Sydney supporters know how good his JS is?

Ling, Keane or Watson For me. Anyone give us an idea on who and why?
I have both Keane and Watson.  Shied off Ling because I do not rust horse to continue playing him. (Finally got rid of McInerney as an example). Bucks seems to give kids a reasonable run which is why I went Keane over Ling this week.

Thanks Ringo for your advice much appreciated.

Thoughts on Draper? Is he a must have, JS shakey?

Belly fwd didn't work for them and McKernan (should come back in ) is a better fwd than Belly also. So, something gotta give. Draper's coach singing his praise at his presser. Could they drop Belly? Dunno. Need some Bombers to answer.

How about Keane fellas? Didn't watch the game, but really need a downgrade in the backline.

Or Roughead likely to take his spot?

Very ordinary cost the Pies a goal I would be very surprised if he kept his spot especially after a loss.

Bones Bombers

What kind of JS do Skinner and Ballenden have?
Who missed for them to get a game?
We will know tonight wether they get a game this week but how will they go longer term?

They came in to replace Archie Smith and McStay. McStay misses 1 more match through suspension, whilst Smith is out for longer injured.

Would think there is room for one of them for a while, for ruck relief for Oscar. I think Ballenden is more suited to that role, but Ringo or other Lions' supporters may be able to provide more comment?

Might be trading one of them regardless as limited options for cash generation.   Woodcock is also a possibility.  Who he is replacing for Port

Hmm,  not going to be long lived unless that start resting some of the young guns?   Bit of a punt.

It really is a toss of the coin. Ballandeen did the ruck work whilst Bog O was rested but Skinner can pinch hit in ruck.  My opinion for what it is worth is that they may wish to keep going with Ballandeen looking to the future.  Fullarton is very raw at the moment.

Cheers guys. Pretty much what I was thinking but always pays to get more opinions.

I'm thinking Watson and Draper are the two rookies worth grabbing. Watson isn't a must with the Freo bye so no issues there.
